Hi I just wanted to know how can I visualize and edit an existing IDF file in the NEW version of honeybee

The HB Load gbXML does double-duty in that it also allows you to import IDF files. So just connect the IDF file path to that component and you should be able to load it as a Honeybee model.

Hi @chris , Get to the point that i need to load and idf file (V9.3 from the E+ examples folder). I’m trying the HB > Load gbXML OSM IDF component but i get the following error: Runtime error (FileNotFoundException): Could not find file ‘C:\Users\ayezi\simulation\airflownetwork3zvent.hbjson’. Tra…

Hey @AbrahamYezioro and @chris I’ve got the same error while trying to import a idf. The legacy component seemed to work properly. I was wondering if maybe it has to do with the energy plus version since I run it directly in energy plus and not in honeybee.

I don’t think so. In any case i’ still investigating. I see that the try to perform the import/load happens at: C:\Users\USERNAME\simulation\temp_translate Some files and folders are created there but the job fails. There is a log file in the folder run, which is inside the previous mentioned. r…

Hey @AbrahamYezioro , We’ve been making some improvements to the IDF import but, from your log file, it seems like the issue is more basic than that since the file path the the IDF is reported as an empty string. Can you try updating your IDF from version 9.3 to version 9.6 using the IDF Version Up…

Hi @chris , The OSApp doesn’t like the 9.3 idf and asks for 9.6 … :frowning: This is one of the files i’m trying (I’m checking the AFN examples from E+). Thanks, -A. AirflowNetwork_Multizone_HorizontalOpening.idf (102.9 KB)

Thanks, @AbrahamYezioro . I was able to find the real error by digging through the out.osw from the translation process: [openstudio.energyplus.ReverseTranslator] <1> Check that IDF is of correct version and that all fields are valid against Energy+.idd. [openstudio.energyplus.ReverseTranslator] <…

FIY, I also improved the reporting of error messages from the OpenStudio translators whenever the import process fails: fix(serialize): Improve error message when import of OSM/IDF fails ladybug-tools:master ← chriswmackey:master …

Kia ora tatou This issue of importing idf files remains contentious. It is after all the lingua franca of energy modelling. I have always been suspicious of the idea of Open Studio - no matter its robust data structures - limiting what it deigns to build into its data systems. I have a recent exa…

how do i do this?, i don’t understand is it just in copy paste?
